Royal Wedding Date: Prince William & Kate Middleton To Marry April 29, 2011 At Westminster Abbey

The wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton will take place on Friday, April 29, 2011 at Westminster Abbey, according to the British Monarchy Twitter. The couple's engagement was also first announced on Twitter.

The Associated Press writes:

Royal officials said Tuesday the couple chose the date because they wanted a spring wedding. It also the feast day of St. Catherine of Siena, whose name Middleton shares.

Queen Elizabeth II married at the abbey, the 1,000-year-old church in central London where British kings and queens are crowned.

William and Kate decided against celebrating their nuptials at St. Paul's Cathedral, where William's parents married in 1981.

Prime Minister David Cameron already declared the wedding date to be a bank holiday, the Daily Mail reported.

British brides-to-be were worried about the wedding date. The Associated Press tracked down ladies trying on wedding dresses to find out what they had to say:

"If their wedding was on my wedding day, I don't know what I would do!" said Anna Whitcomb, 28, trying on wedding dresses at a London department store. "I know all my family members and guests would want to watch the celebration and would be distracted."

"I'm supposed to be the princess, and now I have a real princess to compete with," she added.
Chelsea Slipko, also looking for a wedding gown at the store, said she couldn't deal with sharing a date with the royals.

"It's like having your birthday on New Year's or your anniversary on Valentine's day," she said. "It's not just your day anymore."

In fact, one mother of a bride-to-be actually asked Prince Charles to keep her daughter's date clear:

"My daughter said, 'please keep June 18 free, no one will come to mine," Nila Gosrani told the heir to the British throne as he was touring a museum. Charles said he would pass the message along.

Looks like she lucked out!

Wedding Rings: Gold, White Gold or Platinum?

By malik, on November 5th, 2010

Wedding Rings: Gold, White Gold or Platinum?

The custom of wearing wedding rings has been in existence since the pagan times. It is believed that fourth finger of one’s left hand has a vein that directly connects to the heart. Therefore, the ring, as a sign of betrothal, is worn on the fourth finger, named the ring finger after this tradition. Diamond has been the most favored choice of engagement rings since 1477, when Archduke Maximilian of Austria presented Mary of Burgundy this token of love.

Wedding Rings: Choosing from the Variety of Options
The wide array of choices of diamond wedding rings and bands online can be very confusing to an Internet shopper. A pretty wedding ring is not enough. You have to ensure that the stone is genuine and that you have the correct size for her finger, among several other factors. Therefore, clarity of mind when selecting the ring is crucial because this will be an enduring symbol of your love and commitment. Follow a technique of selection.

First, decide whether you want a ring or a band. Wedding bands are an equally good option. You can opt to propose to her without a ring and then purchase it together. However, this robs the ring of its romantic element. You can take her best friend out to buy the ring or borrow someone from her family so that you know the exact size when you go to the jewelry store. Also, study the kind of accessories she wears. This will help you know whether she prefers contemporary or classic metals and designs.

Wedding Rings: Choice of Metal
Yellow gold is the traditional preference for wedding rings. However, more and more couples now, are preferring white gold and platinum. When buying gold, make sure that you check the mark on the underside of the band. It will tell you the quality of gold – 14k, 18k or 24k. Twenty-four carat gold is the purest but also the softest. You may prefer an eighteen carat or a fourteen carat ring to avoid scratches and dents.

Every woman harbors a secret desire to possess platinum. Therefore, a platinum ring would be ideal if you can afford it. The price of platinum is the only discouraging factor. Otherwise, platinum looks very chic and being a hard metal, reduces the chances of denting. Moreover, since it is not mixed with common metals, it is safer for those who are prone to allergies. A worthy, economical substitute for platinum is white gold.
